Make git-add behave more sensibly in a case-insensitive environment
This expands on the previous patch, and allows "git add" to sanely handle
a filename that has changed case, keeping the case in the index constant,
and avoiding aliases.
In particular, if you have an index entry called "File", but the
checked-out tree is case-corrupted and has an entry called "file"
instead, doing a
git add .
(or naming "file" explicitly) will automatically notice that we have an
alias, and will replace the name "file" with the existing index
capitalization (ie "File").
However, if we actually have *both* a file called "File" and one called
"file", and they don't have the same lstat() information (ie we're on a
case-sensitive filesystem but have the "core.ignorecase" flag set), we
will error out if we try to add them both.
